The PC version of FlatOut 2 received 'generally favorable reviews', while the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions received 'average' reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In the Stone Skipping Stunt minigame, the players must use nudge just as the driver hits the surface of the water to skip the most efficiently and reach the furthest. This gives the driver a small upward boost and slightly reduces drag. If the driver falls short of the target, players can use the 'nudge'. Players must use ' aerobatics' to control the driver in-flight, but overusing it will increase drag, which will slow the driver down and possibly prevent him/her from reaching the designated target. In the numerous stunt minigames the goal is to shoot themselves out of the car and complete objectives like knocking down a set of bowling pins, hitting the designated spots on a dartboard, score a field goal or fly through flaming hoops. During the race, the driver may be thrown out of the car if slammed into a wall at a high speed. The ragdoll physics in the sequel have been greatly updated.
